Sunday , s :hool The Presbyterian presemted figures relating Number One, as taken from the county auditor’s records, the accur- racy of which figures were verified by County Auditor Spang. The pub- lication was made for the informa- tion of Herald-Review readers, and} mot with any idea of entering into a controversy with an irresponsible who boasts of his ability as the most successful political falsifier in Minnesota. Nor will the Herald-Re view be lead to enter Such a con- troversy. An attempt was made at that time, and is still being made, to cause the people to believe that the financial management of the dis- trict is not properly being cared for by those entrusted to direct its af- fairs. The scurrilous and contemp- tible scoundrel who undertook the job of casting suspicion upon the honorable men who constitute the school board was so completely and absolutely defeated by the facts as presented in these columns that he had no recourse except to multi- ply the falsehoods upon which the first intimations were based. He now has the brazen affrontery to presume upon the dense ignorance of his readers and flaunts false figures in their faces and asks them to believe that twice two does not make four. If he has any such readers he is welcome to them. The figures as heretofore presented by the Herald-Review could mot be misunderstood. They were absolutely correct to the last mill involved. A statement was given showing the amount of “money paid into the Treasury of schoo) district No. One, Itasca county, Minnesota, during the year 1911, FROM SOURCES OTHER THAN THE TAX LEVY MADE BY THE DISTRICT FOR THAT YEAR.” The quotations given totaled the sum of $30,825.72. County Auditor Spans certified to the correctness of the published statement as it appeared in these columns. In attempting to fool the public the mounteback scribbler simply adds the tax collections years, and other items, to the tax devy for 1910, and subtracts that sum from the total given by the Herald-Review.

WOMAN AND THE BALLOT Women no less than men are mag- ifesting dissatisfaction with things age they are. For what else does the great Feminist Movement—the socalled Battle for the Ballot—mean but restlessness under or imaginary burden thal seems too heavy to bear with patience? Whether the cause be real or imagi- mary amounts to the same thing, so far as the effect goes, however stout- ly one may argue that the women of America particularly are better gear ed, guarded and governed than wo- man ever has been in history.
